Abstract:

This study determined the extent of parental involvement as an instructional support in answering the self-learning modules. The self-learning modules provided logical and guided learners through the content and with the parallel assessment given by the teachers. The meaningful involvement of parents especially in this trying time of pandemic is very essential. Parent involvement in a child's education was consistently found to be positively associated with a child's academic performance. This study sought to identify the socio-economic profile of the parent-respondents in terms of age, sex, educational attainment, occupation, and monthly family income. Data from the respondents were gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were treated using frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation (SD), multiple regression analysis, and Pearson r correlation. A major finding of this study showed that the respondents were still involved in the task for every school activity amidst the pandemic. Most of the parents always allotted time in helping their children in reading and answering their SLMs. Further, they oftentimes believed that they were flexible in the educational needs of their children. Findings also showed that better educational attainment of the parents could be significantly associated with better performance of the learners.
